Research on a Condition, Situation, Scenario specific to a stage in the Life-Span.( Teen Issues and Peer Pressure).
Introduction
Teenage pregnancy is the pregnancy of girls of aged 19 years or less. Teenage pregnancy is most common among young girls that lead a disadvantaged life, which leads to their identification with poor expectations about the job market, their education or their family life/ situation (Mestad et al., 2011). Many cases of teenage adolescence are caused by the lack of access to pregnancy prevention methods among the teenagers and the people living close to them. This paper will explore the causes of teenage pregnancy, relate it to peer pressure and present a possible solution to the problem.
Discussion
Different factors can be attributed to the increasing numbers of early pregnancy. The first common factors include the lack of knowledge on sex and the methods of pregnancy prevention that are available to sexually active people. The second factor is the barriers imposed in the way of accessing pregnancy education and contraceptives, which could be attributed to the negative attitudes developed around the subject, among health professionals (Davies et al., 2006). The third factor leading to an increase in the number of teenage pregnancies is peer pressure. This factor can be attributed to the company that the victims of teenage pregnancy keep, which exposes them to teenage sexual encounters. In many cases, peer pressure will be exerted by age mates or the close encounters of the teenager. In other cases, the pressure can come from community members of other ages and age groups (Ritcher & Mlambo, 2001).
Self esteem is another factor leading to an increase in the number of teenage pregnancies. This factor can be attributed to the personal need of the teenagers to feel a sense of belonging, whether among their age group, or in other social circles. In the case that the teenager experiences a lack of belonging, it is possible that they will associate to people that expose them to unprotected sex, mainly because the company gives them a sense of belonging and identification. Low education expectations are also likely to propel teenagers, towards questionable social groups, which increase their exposure to unprotected sex (Ritcher & Mlambo, 2001). This case takes place, especially among the teenagers that do not identify their future in a field related to the attainment of education. For example, teenage girls that perform poorly at school are more likely to fall victims of teenage sex, therefore ending up pregnant.
